23 TUESDAY - MAY 1972
144TH DAY - 222 DAYS TO COME
To I.S. Shelly Lieberman there looking at things for Ed-U-Cards. He
didn't say anything about having met me and neither did I.
While they were busy Bob Johnson talked and went for coffee.
Chuck Daugherty was there with his game BEAT POLUTION but
was just leaving when I came. He said he'd like to get together.
Bob Johnson, Felicia and I looked at or talked about the following : -
PAIR OFF - wasn't too thrilled with it but took it along and I'll send
the rules. The solitaire we set-up was very easy. Gave him one I
set-up previously and he said he'd try it on the plane.
THE SIX POINT SUPPORT PLAN - didn't care for it.
THE LITTLE BLACK BOX - A box into which 6 (I think) roughly
pyramidacal pcs. are to be fitted. They leave a space inside when done.
Bob didn't care for it.
This was done by a new client, Dennis LaDouceur, who brought
Felicia a mystery GAME for up to 15 players. If we get the chance
she'll show it to me.
TRY-ANGLES (Al Richter's). Tried to explain that there was a lot of
play value but Bob didn't care for it.
AVARICE - Too much luck Bob said.
FOCUS - We talked about it and Bob took the inside's of Felicia's
copy to try it.
INDIAN CHESS - Bob didn't know if royalties would be paid or not.
SECRET SEQUENCE - The contract for it is still in legal.
TRIAGO - They are not sure if they want to use it.
TAM-BIT - I suggested this and Bob looked at it. He liked it and said
it is the kind of family game they will probably want in about 2 years.
Felicia told us that she was going to show TAM-BIT and TAKE FIVE
to Mr. Petrecelli of Kontrell. At present he is only interested in
acquisitions. He is taking over JOTTO.
BAFFLE & DEDUCTIONS - They will hold them indefinitely, but will return
them if requested.
PSYCHE-PATHS - Bob will personally sit in on further tests.
BALLS & CHAINS - Bob previously rejected it.
SKYSCRAPERS - Bob found it interesting but the puzzle people at
- Hallmark like things that interlock. Told him that I was showing it to 3M.
AGOG - Bob is reading the company copy and I said I'd send him one.
SPELLBINDER - Asked Bob what the criticism was and he said that Bob Edwards had said it was no fun.
STACK STICKS Came up in the conversation and Samsonite probably will
do it.
I asked and Bob said that they are not interested in card games now.
The games and puzzles will probably come out under the Springbok logo.
Gave Bob the rules for SKILL CARRE (SHAPE & SHATTER). He asked
me to send him the rules for the game itself. (apparently the
files are not all in good shape.) Went over each of my other
games with the following results : - TRIPLE CROSS - send rules;
RED LETTER - it will definitely be coming out but send rules;
PE-LING - will definitely be coming out. DIGIT - it will definitely be
coming out but send rules; ANOTHER, FITTING & PROPER, TROMINO GO,
